Solaredge Technologies Ltd. maintains a portfolio of 24 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These filings are spread across 13 distinct art units, showing a high degree of technical diversity within their semiconductor and optics filings. The company interacts with 23 distinct examiners for these matters, which indicates a broad exposure to different personnel at the patent office.
TRAN, THAI H is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, overseeing 2 pending office actions. This distribution shows that the workload is decentralized, as 23 distinct examiners are assigned to the active matters. With 13 distinct art units involved, the prosecution strategy must account for the varying standards of many different examination groups. The presence of 24 pending office actions ensures that the company's patent outcomes are not overly dependent on any individual examiner, despite the 2 actions assigned to TRAN, THAI H.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 5 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (4%) |
| §103 only | 7 (28%) |
| §102 only | 3 (12%) |
| §112 only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (40%) |
| No statute on record | 2 (8%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
